“As a Certified SOLIDWORKS Associate (CSWA) provider, Clemson University’s engineering students have contributed to more CSWA’s than any other US university. In fact, Clemson is one of the top producer of CSWA’s in the world,” said John Minor, General Engineering, Clemson University. “The General Engineering program at Clemson has provided a solid foundation to prepare students for our global commercial customers.”

“The world needs engineers, innovators, and design leaders. Dassault Systèmes is committed to improving STEM education and bringing those next generation leaders to the forefront,” said Bertrand Sicot, CEO, SOLIDWORKS, Dassault Systèmes. “The SOLIDWORKS education community is full of SAE Collegiate Design Series competitors and FIRST Robotics winners.”

Libraries of robot assembly models to help competitive teams in FIRST robotics and other platforms such as LEGO, TETRIX by Pitsco and MATRIX. More examples will be developed as contest rules apply throughout the upcoming school year;

Curve-Driven Patterns, a feature that enables faster and easier creation of patterns, such as chains and conveyor systems. Click here for more details;

Assembly Explode, to add rotational explode to components and more clearly and effectively communicate product assembly processes on drawings and in animations. Click here for more details;

SOLIDWORKS Electrical, sold separately, is fully integrated into SOLIDWORKS Education Edition. SOLIDWORKS Electrical enables students in engineering, robotics, and other disciplines to create electrical projects starting with 2D system schematics and ending with 3D routing and cabling interconnecting components.

Qualified schools are given SOLIDWORKS Student Edition licenses at no charge for use by their students outside the classroom. In addition, schools with a SOLIDWORKS Education subscription can become a Certified SOLIDWORKS Academic Exam Provider and administer the Certified SOLIDWORKS Associate (CSWA) exam to their students.

In a new step for SOLIDWORKS Education, beginning this month, all FIRST Robotics teams are eligible for a SOLIDWORKS Robotics Sponsorship, which is based on and includes SOLIDWORKS Education Edition 2014-2015.
